Awards for high achievers in healthcare

The University of Queensland’s best and brightest were recognised at the Faculty of Medicine Prizes and Scholarships awards, Tuesday evening (16 April).

Generous donors celebrated the next generation of healthcare professionals, contributing philanthropic gifts and bursaries to students and recent graduates, for their outstanding achievements.

The University and Faculty rely on the partnership of individuals, organisations and businesses to create an educational opportunity for students, and accelerate the impact of research.
